I have used a Bluebird Pug mill for the last 30 years or so..............love the pug mill...makes clay that is a wonderful consistency! Not to hard..soft, ready to throw. I always wedge this clay as it is just not ready for use without a bit of wedging. Pugged clay is not as good for hand building...wonderful for throwing and in the extruder for coils added to feet.
